Local Charity Boosted by Fundraising Event by Rothera Bray

Rothera Bray is thrilled to announce a generous donation of £2,224 to Nottingham’s (St Mary’s) Relief In Need, a local charity dedicated to supporting families in financial hardship. 

The money was raised during a recent celebration held to mark Rothera Bray’s 200th anniversary. The event saw all donations from the evening directed to this worthy cause, including the sale of charity cocktails and a raffle. 

St Mary’s Relief In Need, based in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, offers vital support to individuals and families. The charity provides practical assistance such as the purchase of essential household items like cookers, cots, fridges, washing machines, beds, and carpets—based on means-tested applications via local organisations such as charities, social and support workers. 

While the event was a celebration of Rothera Bray’s remarkable 200-year history, it also looked toward the future. The firm launched its "Deeds That Make a Difference" initiative, designed to further enhance community support, promote sustainability, and create an even better working environment at Rothera Bray. 

The firm’s CEO Christina Yardley commented, “We’ve had a longstanding relationship with St Mary’s and truly believe in supporting this charity’s vital work in the community. To host such an event in their home, which our head office overlooks, was a wonderful opportunity for us. We’re incredibly proud of the enthusiasm our team and our partners showed to raise this money for charity.”  

Mark Chowdhury, Trustee for Nottingham (St Mary’s) Relief in Need added, “We are grateful for this fantastic effort from Rothera Bray. This money will go a long way to providing the support needed by some of Nottingham’s vulnerable families and individuals.”
